Okay, I have heard people saying that TPMS sensors require movement to work and I have heard others say that it senses the tires all of the time. This is plainly not true.

First, it took a few "days" for the warning light to appear.

Second, I store my OE tires and rims in the garage and this results in the light going out on the dash.

Further to this, I have to say that I am definitely not crazy about winter tire handling. They help when really cold or in snow, but, for every other time before full on winter they actually take away from a lot of the handling prowess. I know Tada San is all about not depending on tires for the car's handling, but, there is definitely a bare minimum. Perhaps, what I need is an all season tire that gets me further into winter weather. I am more and more convinced that when I replace the OE tires, I will be going with a high performance all season tire like the Bridgestone Potenza RE970.
